Have had the car in for an antifreeze leak 3 times; mechanic cannot find the problem. Said he checked head gaskets some way (with some chemical), and ruled that out (already replaced those a few years back). He thought it was related to the water pump, so replaced that. Also, replaced the oil pressure Sending Unit. Then, pulled off the water passage housing to check the 4 main gaskets that bolt the plate to the block, stating "that is where your leak is coming from." But it wasn't. He found a broken/leaking cooling system quick disconnect. Finally, thought I might have got a bad water pump, so replaced that under warranty. I don't seem to lose so much antifreeze on the road, so much as short trips around town, and while it sits afterward. The car does NOT overheat, even going up very steep hills.
Now, the passenger window will go down, but not back up. They replaced the mechanism where the cable is inside the door, noticing NOW it does down very slowly, and even slower back up. Sometimes stopping completely and you have to wait for it a bit, and then it will go the rest of the way. Now they're saying it is some electronic module. The mechanism was nearly $500. And the module to be another $270, but I wanted to run this by the experts first. The window actually went down FASTER BEFORE the repair.
Thanks!
